Stanton, having run out of road with the romance on Earth, moves heavenward, and for the first time, his film feels Earthbound. After 700 years confined in the hermetically sealed space cruiser Utopia, living off advertisements and milk shakes, humanity’s turned globular to the point of immobility. But the parody’s too easy; besides, Woody Allen and Mike Judge (the latter with his “garbage avalanche”) got there first.
But WALL-E will not be remembered by children — or the adults for whom WALL-E is really intended — for its tsk-tsk-ing environmental message or its Naomi Klein polemics. Rather, you’ll adore it because of a cuddly, lonely little robot who breaks your beeping heart.
WALL-E | Directed by ANDREW STANTON. Written by Stanton and JIM REARDON, based on a story by Stanton and PETE DOCTER | Produced by Docter, JOHN LASSETER and JIM MORRIS | Released by Pixar and Walt Disney | Citywide
